Employee Tax

Employee Benefits

Effective benefit plans must give due consideration to the needs of both the employer and employee. Programmes should be integrated with your organisation’s strategic objectives, deliver value to employees and be clearly communicated to all stakeholders.

Employers often rely on us to keep them up-to-date on the latest tax rules and changes. Our solutions take into account your organisation’s specific objectives and cost implications at all times ensuring that recommendations are legally compliant.

Issues on which we advise:

  • tax efficient remuneration and bonus schemes
  • share option plans
  • assistance with HM Revenue & Customs visits and issues arising
  • PAYE compliance health checks
  • NI contributions
  • company car schemes
  • salary sacrifice arrangements
  • childcare considerations
  • pension arrangements in conjunction with your pension advisers

Employee Share Schemes

Share schemes can be useful tools for attracting, retaining or incentivising key employees. The type of scheme you put in place will depend on a number of criteria such as your objectives and whether you are starting out, expanding or selling your business. Our tax team work closely with our HR experts to ensure that your employee share plans comply with current employment legislation.

We have successfully implemented a wide variety of share plans for a range of clients and have a good track record negotiating with HM Revenue & Customs for approval of these schemes, where necessary.

Our experience includes:

  • Share Incentive Plans
  • Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI)
  • Company Share Option Plans (‘CSOP’)
  • Save as You Earn (SAYE) share option plans
  • unapproved share option schemes
  • restricted shares
  • deferred purchase plans
  • gifts into trusts
